Forests, 2022 Structure-based forest management (SBFM) is a method for improving forest structure and quality based on nearest-neighbor analysis. Stand spatial structure directly affects the health and stability of forest ecosystems. Research on the effects of SBFM on

SustainabilitySignificant influences on tree growth and forest functionality are attributed to nitrogen (N) addition. However, limited research has been conducted on the effects of N addition on forest spatial structure.

Composition, structure, and intra-stand spatial patterns along a disturbance severity gradient in a Quercus stand [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2016 Abstract Natural forest disturbances, which drive succession and development, differ in extent, severity, and return interval and range from frequent, gap-scale disturbances, to infrequent stand-replacing events. Most studies have focused on natural disturbances near the ends of the disturbance severity gradient and relatively little quantitative ...

Remote Sensing, 2023 Optimizing the spatial structure of forests is important for improving the quality of forest ecosystems. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) could accurately extract forest spatial structural parameters, which has significant advantages in spatial ...

Detection of forest stand-level spatial structure in ectomycorrhizal fungal communities. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2004 Ectomycorrhizal fungal (EMF) communities are highly diverse at the stand level. To begin to understand what might lead to such diversity, and to improve sampling designs, we investigated the spatial structure of these communities. We used EMF community data from a number of studies carried out in seven mature and one recently fire-initiated forest ...

Forests, 2023 Since tree morphological structure is strongly influenced by internal genetic and external environmental factors, accurate simulation of individual morphological–structural changes in trees is the premise of forest management and 3D simulation.

Assessing stand species and structural diversity at neighbourhood scale
MethodsX, 2018 Forest diversity assessments are typically conducted at stand scale. This traditional diversity assessment may provide substantial insight into overall stand structure but is limited with respect to describing within-stand variation, an important aspect ...

Optimizing Stand Spatial Structure at Different Development Stages in Mixed Hard Broadleaf Forests
ForestsThinning plays a key role in regulating the stand spatial structure (SpS) to improve the development of stand quality, and the stand has different characteristics of stand structure (SS) at different growth and development stages (DSs), so it is most ...

Spatially explicit structure of natural stands dominated by black spruce [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2013 Black spruce [ (Mill.) BSP] regeneration emerges in clusters near the pre-existing boles within a few years after the passage of fire. This paper tested the hypothesis that black spruce forests still maintain the spatial structure deriving from postfire ...
